Scalextric 4 Schools

An exciting and affordable Design — Make — Race challenge for middle and high schools

Comprehensive STEM curriculum Is provided making the challenge suitable for the taught curriculum or as an after school activity.

Design — Students are shown how to research existing products and encouraged to come up with their own ideas. They are then taught how to use the same software professional designers and engineers use so they can create a 3D model of their design.

Make — We show students how to use laser cutters for creating the chassis and NC router/mills to make moulds for vacuum forming the body. Schools are using many different manufacturing techniques including 3D printing. Cost price components are provided to keep the cost of a finished car below £2 GBP ($3 USD)

Race — Cost price race track is available to schools for testing their designs whether cars or speed controllers.

The Scalextric4Schools Challenge offers the following challenges:
